INSTALLATION OF BATH WITH FRAME:
Follow the sequence of drawings given in this manual very
carefully when installing a bath with frame.
INSTALLATION OF ENCLOSED BATH:
Before building the enclosing walls, it is best to position the
bath and make the required connections. The wall can extend
inwards under the lip of the bath by not more than 1.5 cm. The
drain must be connected in such a way that the bath can be
pulled out of the enclosure for maintenance, when necessary.
To facilitate this operation do NOT fix enclosed type baths to
the floor. In this case, fix the bath by applying silicone on all
four sides (see siliconing illustration on page 7).
Inspection panel required.
TRIMMINGS (optional):
On request, a set of easy to install trimmings to seal and
embellish the joint between the wall and the rim of the bath
can be provided (contact your Novellini dealer). The strips can
be adapted to any bath size. Trimmings come in white and I.S.
white.
(!) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
With the CE mark and the declaration of conformity, the
manufacturer guarantees that the product complies with
current health and safety standards. All items and components
are factory tested according to reference standards and
in-house quality procedures. To ensure that the bath continues
to be safe even after installation and throughout its useful life,
check the following:
1.The electrical system to which the bath is to be connected
must conform with current regulations and standards.
Remember that the system must be properly earthed.
2. All electrical fittings (power outlets, switches, etc) must be
at least 60 cm from the bath or at a height of 225 cm.
3. The power supply line must be suitable for the power
requirement of the bath (see technical specifications, page 4).
4. The point where the bath is connected to the electrical
system must be suitably protected against splashing water
(degree of protection IP55 or greater).
5. The whirlpool system must be fitted with a 30 mA switched
circuit breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm.
6. The bath frame has an earth terminal that must be properly
connected to the earthing system of the supply circuit , (refer
to illustrations on page 5).

USER MANUAL:
FUNCTIONS AIR CONTROL:
The massaging jet delivered by each nozzle is a mixture of
WATER and AIR formed inside the nozzle by a VENTURI, that is,
a vented constriction that injects air into the water flowing
through the nozzle. You can vary the air to water ratio by acting
on the air control (D), selecting the side of the bath where you
want the air flow to be directed, or you can switch off the air
flow altogether. This allows you to adjust the intensity of the
massage using the settings shown in the table below.

OPERATING TEST:
An operating test must be performed following installation.
Check that the bath is clean.
Fill the bath with water at an infeed temperature of 40 °C
(± 5 °C) up to a level above the highest nozzle to allow the
system to function.
Switch on the system and run it for 10 minutes. Switch OFF the
whirlpool function but do not empty the bath and after 10
minutes check all the hoses, couplings, etc. for any leaks.
The test should be repeated following any adjustments or
substitutions.
Backflow of water towards the mains water supply must be
avoided to ensure conformity with EN 1717 when filling the
bath.
Therefore if the taps are fitted so that the water fills the bath
from above the top of the bath then the taps must be
positioned (at least in terms of height) in accordance with the
diagrams shown from pages 4.
If the system involving a combined water inlet and overflow
outlet is used to fill the bath, a water outlet spout consisting
of a non-return valve (not supplied) must be fitted between
the combined tap water inlet point and the delivery system
located on the discharge column.
HOW TO USE YOUR WHIRLPOOL BATH CORRECTLY:
The benefits of a whirlpool massage:
The swirling water of a whirlpool bath is naturally soothing
and offers many therapeutic benefits. In spas, hydrotherapy is
used to stimulate blood circulation, relax muscles and restore
tone to the skin. Basically, it consists in injecting air into
controlled jets of water of varying intensity directed at the
body. The jet of warm water and air bubbles against the body
dilates blood vessels and increases the flow of blood to the
heart. In addition, the continuous jet of water has a massaging
effect on the muscles and dilates skin pores, promoting the
removal of toxins and helping to hydrate the surrounding
tissue. Hydromassage is widely used by sports people to relieve
tired muscles after strenuous physical activity, producing a
pleasant sense of relaxation and well-being. The jet nozzles
can be adjusted to direct the jets at the parts of the body where
you want to concentrate the massaging action. The
temperature of the bath water must never exceed 45°C. The
maximum benefits are obtained with a temperature of
36°-37°C.
PRECAUTIONS:
Although hydromassage has been proved to have beneficial
effects, always bear in mind the following simple rules:
1) The temperature of the bath water must never exceed 45°C.
Always fill the bath with hot and cold water mixed. Do not fill
with boiling hot water first and then cold water. Remember
that the most relaxing effects are obtained by keeping the bath
water temperature at 36°C/37°C.
2) A whirlpool bath should not last more than 20/30min at
most. The higher the temperature, the less the bath should last
(ideally 36/37°C for approximately 15/20min). Remember that
the dilation of the blood vessels
due to the water temperature usually causes a slight reduction
in blood pressure.
3) Persons with serious heart problems or suffering from
hypertension or other serious illnesses should consult with
their doctor before using the whirlpool bath.
4) Children must only use the whirlpool bath under the
supervision of an adult.
5) Elderly and disabled people as well as those with movement
difficulties should use the whirlpool bath with care. It is
recommended that you seek medical advice.
6) Since the whirlpool provides relaxation, it is best used after
sports activities or at the end of a day's work.
Do not use the whirlpool immediately after a meal.
7) Do not use foaming agents in the bath while the jets system
is in operation as the foaming effect is increased
by pump pressure. Use soap or shampoo only after you have
turned off the jets system.
8) If you really want to use bath salts or other products
providing relaxing, tonic, slimming or other desirable effects,
make sure that they do not produce foam and that they are
well dissolved in the water before turning on the pump.
9) Keep this manual in a safe place so that it can be consulted
by those using the whirlpool bath.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION:
Deposits of organic material that collect in the pipes during a
whirpool bath promote bacterial growth and, if left untreated,
cause unsanitary conditions and unpleasant odours. For perfect
hygiene, the jets system should be disinfected immediately
after bathing, before draining. To disinfect, use 50 g of ordinary
disinfectant (for example, liquid bleach) for every 100 litres of
water (approximately half a glass in a bath filled to optimum
level). Run the system for few minutes to circulate the
disinfectant in the pipes. Stop the system, allow to soak for
15/20 minutes, then drain the bath. If the bath develops
unpleasant odours after a long period of inactivity, it's a good
idea to disinfect the system before using it again. For hygiene,
if the bath is used consecutively by two or more people, the
system should be disinfected after each use. During
disinfection, turn off the air control to reduce foaming.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
The bath is made of acrylic and must be cleaned using a liquid
detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Use a good quality
household liquid detergent. To prevent scale
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING:
During use, small organic particles are deposited in the
whirlpool pipes and if not treated may lead to proliferation of
bacteria in the system. For perfect hygiene, you should treat
the system with specific products available from our Service
Centres (see updated list on our site www.novellini.com under
the heading "Service") or dealers specialising in products for
whirlpool baths. For temporary treatment you can use a liquid
disinfectant (eg. Dettol). How to clean the bath. Fill the bath
with clean water up to the normal level. Add 80g of disinfectant
to the water. Operate the whirlpool for a few minutes to
distribute the disinfectant throughout the circuits. Stop the
system and then after 15/20 minutes, empty the bath. You
should also perform a specific treatment if the bath is left
unused for long periods. If the bath is used by more than one
person consecutively, you are recommended to disinfect after
each cycle. While disinfecting, keep the air mixer closed to
avoid excessive foam.
(!) You should never use or take a bath in the water used
for disinfecting.
ADJUSTING JET NOZZLES and DRAIN:
Turn the jet nozzles (C) as required. The nozzles can be turned
in any direction. Make sure that the nozzles are not clogged
and are not directed upwards (otherwise water will be splashed
out of the tub when the system is switched on). Fill the tub
until the water is well over the level of the jet nozzles (see
illustration). After getting into the bath, the water level must
be as shown in the illustration, otherwise the jets system may
not start. The system features a level sensor which prevents
the jets from switching on if there isn't enough water in the
bath. When the jets system is on, do not use foaming agents
such as bubble baths, soap, etc.
